1256 Very A Lot.

Some people have theorized that the reason Nina shows her belly off so much is that she has trouble finding shirts that fit. It’s never been brought up in the story but that’s not the reason. She’s willfully breaking the rules because she likes open clothing AND her tummy is pretty spectacular. She has sense enough to know when not to do this, but it is still a risk which she gets a thrill from. I’ve always thought of it as a holdover from her days as a very vain cheerleader. In spite of how wise she seems sometimes she still has a streak of immaturity. Part of the reason she hasn’t had anyone in so long is that vain refusal to settle for anyone but who she likes best. She still has a tendency to value the superficial in a relationship. Her complex relationship with Thomas probably doesn’t help anything either. There was likely some hesitation to let go of that chance with each other that held them both back at one point or another. Use it or lose it, as they say. Sometimes you need to make a decision before life makes it for you.

I know, I’m joking mostly based on his expression in panel two of the previous comic. I know he’s just amused at Carol’s devotion to the game but I chose to interpret it as the satisfied smirk of a man whose master plan was all coming together.

Seems to me he did just fine keeping his sister in line – remember he won the battle of the gameboy when he locked her out of the apartment in her t-shirt and knickers.
Also – have you seen the size of his hands… ;-)

Depends on Thomas’s refractory period, I guess, but there’s plenty of activities that couples could do in bed that isn’t, you know, wang-centric. But no matter which activities in particular they hypothetically would have been up to, had they been going at it all night, it really says a lot for their respective stamina if he appears well-rested and she looks half dead.

We’ve never seen either one brought to that point yet, but it would be interesting to know who has more stamina? The formerly slim tomboy with thunder jugs, or the indifferent, scheming scarecrow of Megatainment?

it’s more than stamina, though…You have to factor in psychological endurance, creativity, sex appeal…

…I mean, when she has him hanging upside down from rope tied to a chandelier in position #17: the spread eagle, getting a ladder and a table high enough to hold condiments is going to factor into the overall experience.

If it’s toned like hers, absolutely. However, where I live up in Maine, I see plenty of ugly chubby girls wearing belly shirts as much as I see smoking hot ones. So if I were you, I would rephrase that statement, unless you want Crave to draw Carol or Alex in a belly shirt next.

I’m not saying that chubby girls aren’t cute, or wouldn’t feel good when pressed against you, but I don’t believe that a body with excessive cellulite should be flaunted in public. I don’t flaunt myself because my abdominal region is mildly flabby, and definitely wouldn’t attract women to me.

I’m sensing Nina’s disappointment has less to do with what she imagined Thomas might’ve done to Carol and more with what she imagined he could do to her. Also the sex she needs is inversely proportional to the amount of upper cloth she is wearing. So yes, a very lot.

While some people treat complete or partial nudity as an honest form of expression, most of them do it to advertise for mates (not males, mind you, but mates).

Here’s how I think:

If I was a little more toned in the torso (mainly the abdominal region), and I went somewhere topless so ladies would see me, they would look at me longer than a glance. In their minds, my sinewy core would say: “This is power. You want to have this power, work for it. If you want to feel this power, come closer!”

The ladies would want to engage in small talk, shortly after wanting to feel me, then ultimately wanting me to give them a ride they won’t forget!

I kinda just meant it as maybe the reason she’s so erotically inclined in her imagination and likes to flaunt her middle regions is because she’s so backed up as she hadn’t had any in a looking time.

Also as a math joke that someone ran with. I don’t take the amount of clothing someone wears as an indication of lust. I live in a place where a lot of dudes like to go topless and only wear shorts, so that’s a prett gross sentiment.

I find the concept of Nina Sex to be very distracting… What were we talking about? Oh, yeah, Nina Sex. It’s very… mmmmmmmmmmmmmm… Oh sorry, I’m too busy thinking about Nina Sex right now. Could you guys come back tomorrow?

That was my boyfriend and his buddy this weekend. Game looks gorgeous and fun. The disconnecting every 8 minutes or so wasn’t so amusing, but, you know, beta servers and a large number trying to play meant it was expected.

She does have a nerdy side which would help her to keep on the same page as Thomas, unlike Carol’s lack of understanding for certain things. Given she has experience with Transformers, it doesn’t compensate for being ignorant of the nerdy stuff with substance (like horror movies).

This has never been brought up in the comic, but the comment made me think about it. Thomas would likely describe horror movies, at best as intellectual garbage capable of inspiring catharsis in the lowest common denominator. Firstly because he doesn’t like them and secondly because he can never remember the exact definition of catharsis.

Because fat girls shouldn’t have significant others? That’s how I just read that comment..I hope I’m incorrect. And I say this as a skinny girl. I accept her personality could be problematic for some, but her size shouldn’t be an issue. If you don’t find overweight women attractive, that’s your call and okay, but saying no one should be attracted to them is quite another.

I think the fact that she’s a bit over-the-top is what turns many people off. I could have someone like her in my social circle, but not as a romantic partner. It would be like riding a giant firecracker. Fun, fast, and have an amazing, explosive finish which could be seen and heard for miles around. And would also concern firefighters in dry seasons.

This page went exactly the way I was thinking it would when i read the first panel.

To all you commenters. Don’t stop posting such hilariousness (as if I could stop you). As for Thomas having better stamina than Carol; that may probably be the case. In my previous relationship, I couldn’t get enough of my girlfriend. She was the one who had to rest after the fact and was sore the next day while I could run a marathon. It was pretty intriguing really.
